    Shop Vac find at Home Depot

    I was at Home Depot not to long ago and wandered up the vacuum isle to see what they had and found this thing.

    I thought the design was brilliant.

    RIDGID 4-gal. Wet/Dry Vacuum with Detachable Blower-WD4080 - The Home Depot

    Thought I would share.

    looks like they redesigned it again with the wheels (seem larger now in the rear), but now with the detachable blower. if I didn't already have a ridgid vac already, I would probably get this. for those who are mobile, this would be perfect without having to lug around a big 14+ gallon shop vac around...

    I have this vac and highly recommend it..very compact and has great suction for it's size...i believe it has a 6hp motor. The only thing I didn't like was the hose..it's too stiff...however I purchased the Ridgid detailers vac kit, and it has a much better hose and very nice long flexible crevice tool. I haven't used it as a blower yet, but I turned it on and has strong force...it detaches very quickly and easily as well.

    Get the Vac N Blo in the future, even if you can't afford it. You'll be glad you did. It's on a whole nother level in terms of suction and hose size and bendability.

    Re: Shop Vac find at Home Depot

    No problem, I purchased a small travel griots vac and blo and think its garbage, the first one blew up on me and set on fire. They replaced it but i found that the Rigid with the Rigid detailers kit is great when I need to do an interior, but don't do many interiors. This will likely be my next vacuum when I move.

    But it can't be used as a wet vac

    Deal breaker for me

    Just grabbed this vac for $49. Only one hd in my area had it in stock, must be discontinued or something

    nice to see the Rigid vacs making waves. mine is an older model and has done everything I have asked of it and then some. just clean or put in a new filter and it begs for more cleaning.

    I've had this vac for a few mos.. and like someone else mentiones the hose is really stiff, and kinks super easy. Bought this vac hose attachment.. well worth the money

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    and use this attachment for fitment into almost any crevice
